For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

If you have access to an iPhone 4S, then try to use it for as couple of minutes, and then see if you still consider that 3.5 inch screen perfect size.
If you want a tiny phone, then why use the biggest one available? It's like saying I wish I could get a small economic car, and then drive a Humvee.
Apparently when it comes down to it, you don't really want a tiny phone.
I do and it's perfect.
Because the biggest are often the top models and at the time that I bought this one, my job required a powerful mobile. The battery bypass feature, exclusive to the S23U, alone made it a non-choice.
You're making a lot of assumptions in your comment about me, what my workload on a mobile is, and my own tastes.
Battery bypass is not exclusive to the S23U, it's on other recent Samsungs and it wasn't even first introduced on Samsung phones, it's been on multiple Sony and Asus phones. So yeah, people are gonna make assumptions when you're complaining about how big phones have gotten while owning one of the largest phones on the market.
Try to read it again, I make zero assumptions, apart from the 2 you have stated yourself. You want a phone the size of an iPhone 4s but use a S23 Ultra. I'm just pointing out that those two are contradictory.
If I were to make an assumption, it would be that it seems you want a flagship phone the size of an iPhone 4s. Which you kind of can with a foldable.
Battery bypass is not exclusive to the S23 Ultra, the entire S22 and S23 series have it:
